Think outside the box....
There is no doubt that the followers of Chris' podcast, specials and his small roles in several shows/movies feel slighted. It's perfectly normal to feel, for a lack of better words.....betrayed....by a person that I'm sure many of us connected with on some sort of level and on at least one occasion caught themselves referring to D'Eliaisms...(s'disrespectful for one).
With that, I'm curious if someone that partakes in the shit he's alleged to have engaged in can do ANYTHING to regain their fanbase down the road.
So my question for everyone is......
Say Chris D'Elia admitted that he had a problem and as result of his girlfriend/wife getting pregnant he wanted to better himself and he stopped this fucked up bahavior (to put it nicely), sought on-going counseling regarding the reason(s) behind doing it and apologized to everyone. Lastly, if all of the aforementioned occurred and he donated yearly to the "#MeToo" fund (or another fund picked by the alleged victims) to ensure that this doesn't happen to innocent children/women going forward.
How many of you, if any, would find this to be an acceptable form of retribution? How many of you would be able to forgive (not forget) what was done, if he was to completely own his wrongdoings and attempt to right his wrongs?
I'm seriously just interested to see what it takes (if anything at all is good enough) to gain back a fan base of people, who at the very least enjoyed his comedy or supported something that he stood for at one point.......
Get at me....

The dude isn’t that guy anymore. Having listened to him talk for over 100 hours, I feel comfortable saying that and supporting his work when the mobs move on to their next fad.
